Dear Editor:
I just bought a home in
Oshawa in the area of Rossland
and Stevenson. The home was
built in 1982.
What I find kind of extreme
is that the property taxes last
year were about $4,700, but
now they have been increased
to $5,600.
That's a $900
increase per year or $75 per
month extra. I find this too
much of an increase for a couple
that just bought a home. We
had to pay for a land transfer
tax on top of this. Shouldn't we
be getting a break because we
are buying a home?
This is just my opinion but
I'm sure there are other couples
in Oshawa thinking the same
thing.
I agree that we need to bring
a lot more businesses in
Oshawa. I find we are lacking
solid businesses that are going
to provide local jobs.
